Biden splits with Harris over ‘selfish’ DeSantis hurricane preparedness: He’s doing ‘a great job’

President Joe Biden praised Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., for being “cooperative” and doing a “great job” in response to Hurricanes Helene and Milton. A day after Harris’s comments, Biden emphasized that DeSantis has everything he needs for hurricane preparedness.
Biden’s positive remarks diverged significantly from Vice President Kamala Harris’s criticism of DeSantis for being “selfish.” Biden warned that the storm could be the worst in a century to hit the state of Florida, and that he had given DeSantis his personal phone number if he needed help.
